Poll loss won’t stop my work for the disabled: Suvarna Raj

For 33-year-old Suvarna Raj, who lost the municipal election from Babarpur to BJP’s Kusum Tomar, this is simply a bump in the road, not the end of the world. Raj was fighting the election on a Swaraj India ticket.

Sitting in a wheelchair and surrounded by her family and neighbours, Raj says, “Disabled people are not even considered a vote bank. The BJP won because of the Modi wave, not because of the work of their candidates. I will still do whatever little I can for the disabled.”
